The Rotting Zombie's News Anthology for Tuesday 19th March 2024

I think this will likely be the sole news post this week as I am planning to finally getting around to reading a Death Note manga I borrowed off my best friend's daughter. With that out the way, here is a trilogy of news stories.

Sci-fi horror Brightwood is coming out in the UK, Ireland and Australia on March 21st. The film revolves around an arguing couple out on a run in some woodland who inexplicably find themselves trapped in a localised time loop. I reviewed this back in September of last year where I said it '...played out like a cross between Vivarium and Triangle...'.

I'm always up for a decent horror anthology, one such possibility is the anthology film Death 4 Told which is available now on digital platforms worldwide and will arrive on AVOD digital platforms on 30th March from Vipco and BayView Entertainment. This Bo Buckley and C. Michael Close directed horror stars Alicia Goranson alongside Tom Savini and Margot Kidder. There are four short films contained within, a writer and his wife who move into a new home to find it's already occupied, college couples telling ghost stories around a campfire, a TV crew filming a paranormal show, and a fake psychic unprepared for the horror heading her way.

Finally for today, an Indiegogo campaign has been created to raise funds for Night of the Dead Sorority Babes. Directed by Steve Hermann and Angel Nichole Bradford, and described as a 'campy horror feature film', this was written specifically for a group of indie 'scream queen' actresses. The proof of concept short film can be viewed on YouTube, while the campaign for the feature film can be found here.
